I admit at times, I really hate  to exercise, it can be such a tedious task.   Therefore when I am pressed for  time, or really want to get a good work out in the least amount of time- I resort to the 20 minute work out.   Experts say that it only takes 20 minutes for your body to turn into a fat burning  machine.   So I make it the best 20 minute work out I possibly can.  My goal is to max out my heart rate- which my target heart rate is 126.    So I pick a cardio machine of my choice, today I chose the elipitcal,  and had a consistent heart rate of 135.    For only 20 minutes it felt like I was working out for the full hour, since sweat was dripping from my forehead.   I thought I only glistened, but with a high intense 20 minute workout you are challenging your body.  The key is to max out your heart rate, and then throughout the day your body will burn even more calories, even when you are at rest.      Wow what a workout, now I have tons of energy to help keep me going through the day!   Remember to drink plenty of water before, during, and after you workout!
